Hi Ronald
You are mistaken :) The query string can be a single IP address or CIDR or a
range. And the range doesn't even need to be an exact matching range. So if you
search for:
x.y.0.0 - x.y.0.100
and the actual object in the database is:
x.y.0.0 - x.y.0.255
it will still return this database object. As long as the search string is
encompassed by the actual object.

Actually, not to quibble or anything, but unless I'm mistaken, the query
string has to be either a single IP address or a single CIDR.
I only mention this because some allocations are what I would call
"funny", i.e. they are not expressible as a single CIDR.
